(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
The contract completion date of our project was already several weeks ago but we haven't finished yet because of several reasons:
1. Our own delay, meaning we haven't finish yet some parts of the work,
2. Client's delay due to late handover of access for some areas, and
3. Addtional works which was issued before the contract completion date but the works will go beyond the contractcompletion date.
My manager ask me to prepare an interim EOT. So anyone have any advice on how to do this considering those items I mentioned above? hanks.

Here's my point of view regarding your concern:
1. Delay due to contractor's fault - no claim for EOT. The Owner may charge you penalty on the delay.
2. Delay due to Client & late handover - contractor is entitle to claim for an EOT. In your claim documents do not forget to attach all the correspondences with reasons of the delays & the approved handover schedule of the client say Revision 0. In your claim you have to emphasize the realistic time frame if how many days, months among others you will need in order finish all the behind works base on your original contract.
3. EOT for additional works - Basically every change order has its own schedule (timetable for procurement, construction among others). Now, before you conform with the change order to Client make sure that the schedule you have stated in the change order is adequate to finish such additional work. For the change orders that you have accepted and the completion will go beyond the construction completion of the original contract, it can be extended for a minimum time. No need to claim for an Interim EOT.
To make sure of your claims please check the contract from time to time.
Hi Ronn
When a Contractor submits a claim for EOT, lets imagine (60 days), the Engineer has to review the claim to entitle the Contractor the EOT. Sometimes the review might take considerable time, or when the effects of the delaying event has not yet ended; in which case the Engineer has the right to entitle the Contractor an Interim EOT, for example(25 days) based on acceptable information, to prevent the time for completion of the Project from being 'At Large'. Later, after proper review of EOT claim, the Engineer can increase the entitlement of EOT for the particular case, but can not reduce it (normally,,,but can depend on the type of Contract ).
In your case for EOT, I would suggest to include both the Additional works and the Delay in Handing over, although the impact of Delay in Handing over is what drives the EOT.

Thanks to those who respnoded to my question.
Do I need to apply several Interim EOT? Because there is a case in which in our baseline programme, there is a activity that will take us 90 days to complete. But since that area is not yet handed over to us it is already in delay. If we apply for EOT using this case should we apply for 90 days?
Aside from these there is an additonal work that will take us 2 months to complete. Should I also apply EOT for this? Or should I used the one that will give s the maximum EOT?
Dear Frnds,
I have liised the following
Hope the above will help you..

Dear:
The project is suffering concurrent delay and I am so surprised why you have not claimed previously when the disruption of work happened due late handing over.
Any way ur claim particulars details should concluded all the events which caused the delay considering the sit status at same time .
I can see in delaying of handing over some area to start ur work is a prim core of sequential delays.
The first thing you have to work on it is updated work program dated same date of a first event arisen.
For additional work u cannot claim for extra time since the works will be carried out after completion date , but see u have to submit ur time frame for such.
And you have to be so sure about one thing that Tacking over Certificate must be signed before on starting carrying out the additional works.
And I can say there is no meaning to interim EOT since u r going to complete the works , the interim EOT will be in term of the event still affect.
Thanks
Mai
Hi Ronn,
An As-Planned impact of Additional work & Client's Delay would give the minimum EOT.
(The Contract conditions for concurrent delay has to be reviewed to consider Client's Delay, in the analysis)
